What your favorite musical says about you (but it's all musicals I like)

Hamilton: you definitely exist!

1776: You are what Hamilton fans think they are

Six: you wish Hamilton was only about the Schuyler Sisters

Matilda: you either are a child, are healing your inner child, or you're queer and had a crush on Miss Honey

Les Mis: you took French and/or European History in high school OR you're severely depressed

Hadestown: the phrase "Patrochilles" means something to you

Anything Goes: you worship Sutton Foster and pretend to like really old theater

Showboat: you ACTUALLY like really old theater

Waitress: you eat your feelings and sing something from this show at every audition

Newsies: 1. You came across this show in middle or high school 2. You have a ship from this show that you will defend with your life!

Wicked: You're gay for Idina Menzel

Candide: either this is the only operetta you know, you're obsessed with opera/operetta, or you just love Kristen Chenoweth

Into the Woods: you DESPISE the movie.

Cats: gay furry. That's the entire show and its fandom

Sweeney Todd: you have very strong feelings about Johnny Depp

Jekyll and Hyde: there is gay subtext in everything if you look hard enough!

Fun Home: lesbian.
